Kenny Wayne Shepherd is an American Blues musician. Shepherd was born in Shreveport, Louisiana. Self-taught, he began playing at age 7, figuring out Muddy Waters licks from his father’s record collection.

At age of 13, he was invited onstage by the New Orleans bluesman Brian Lee. After proving his abilities, he decided on music as a career.

Using his own contacts in the record business Shepard’s father and manager helped his son land a major-label record deal with Giant Records.

Shepard is honored for his mastery of many styles, but Chicago blues he does not touch as Shepherd’s is in the middle of the Texas triangle.

Unfotunately I dont have a good photograph of him to put up here.
